[edit] Successes
Māori Television was launched on March 28 2004 and attracted a cumulative audience of 300,000 in its first month on air (April 2004).[citation needed] The channel attracts 1.5 million viewers each month; half of all Māori aged five or more, and one third of all New Zealanders.[2]
84 per cent of the general population believes that Māori Television should be a permanent part of New Zealand broadcasting.[2]
Māori Television continues to attract a rapidly growing and increasingly broad audience across age, gender and ethnicities. More than two thirds of the audience are non-Māori, who are looking for local programming such as Kai Time on the Road, Kete Aronui and Ask Your Auntie, many New Zealand movies and documentaries, and the diverse range of international movies and documentaries that normally would not get air-time on the main commercial networks.[citation needed]

[edit] Controversies
Originally, Canadian John Davy was appointed Chief Executive of Maori Television back in 2002. However, it was found that his qualifications were false (i.e. He had a degree from the 'Denver State University') and resigned in disgrace.[4]
Newsreader Julian Wilcox fired and reinstated in 2005. Mr Wilcox was dismissed by Maori Television after Mr Wilcox contributed to providing information to other media, which led to negative stories being broadcast and published. [5]
Maori TV presenter Ngarimu Daniels who was banned from taking part in protests and whose gay partner was referred to as a "dyke" by a senior MTS manager has been awarded $16,000. Leonie Pihama, a leading Maori academic and film-maker, resigned from the seven-member board citing a conflict of interest over an employment dispute taken against the network by her partner, Te Kaea news presenter Ngarimu Daniels.
